Question

The product of ten times Karen's age and thirty-two less than eight times Karen's age is zero. Find Karen's age.

Answer 1

4 is the answer

let karen's age be x
ten times Karen’s age =10x
thirty-two less than eight times Karen’s age = 8x-32

product = 0
(10x) (8x-32) = 0
10x = 0 / (8x-32)
10x = 0
x = 0 [not possible]

[ or]

product = 0
(10x) (8x-32) = 0
8x-32 = 0 / (10x)
8x-32 = 0
8x = 32
x = 4
the age of karen is 4 years
